Map and Gold Coins

The map appears at the bottom left.

Complete the map by finding coins in each scene. The amount of coins to find appears at the top of the scene. When you find all the required coins, that area is added to the map. This is beneficial later as it will allow you to jump (teleport) from area to area rather than walk back and forth.

Coins will be highlighted by white circles.

Although the game calls the coins “gold,” they often match their background colour (like chameleons).
